This four-color, Gold Medallion Book Award winner is a perfect tool that offers solid, biblical answers to some of the tough questions kids ask about evolution and our world.

"Did Earth begin with a 'Big Bang' cosmic explosion?"

"Does science contradict the Bible?"

"What happened to dinosaurs?"

"Is there life on other planets?"

"Did we evolve from apes?"

"What makes my body work on its own?"

Kids are daily exposed to the theory of evolution by the media and public schools. It's not safe to assume that your kids will reject that theory. It's up to us as parents and Christian leaders to make sure our children know the truth about the creation of the world. With thousands of evidences to prove He created and sustains the universe, It Couldn't Just Happen will fascinate kids with fun activities and examples of God's marvelous works.

Fabulous book of facts to contrast evolution

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 May 2019

Verified Purchase

I've really enjoyed this book. There are so many fascinating facts about our natural world that really get you thinking. Take for example, the wood pecker. This is a totally unique bird. It is the only bird to have a sponge pad between its beak and its head which absorbs the impact of striking a tree. In other birds, the skull and the beak are fused together. Woodpeckers also have two toes pointing forwards and two toes pointing backwards to enable them to cling onto trees. They have amazing tongues too. The woodpeckers tongue is not attached to the back of the mouth like other birds tongues, but circles around inside the skull to attach to the top of the woodpeckers head! Without the spongy pad, the birds couldn't peck for six hours a day, without their strange feet, they couldn't cling onto trees to feed and without their special tongue, they couldn't reach into insect tunnels to feed. Without this unique design, they wouldn't survive! The theory of evolution would have required each of these qualities to have happened by accident and developed by chance at the same time!

Total dross !

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 January 2014

This is, of course, blatant creationist or fundamentalist propaganda, written by an ignoramus (as far as science is concerned). A ridiculous book that tries to poke holes in the theory of evolution. It is a last-gasp attempt to hang on to obsolete, irrational beliefs. Because the author can't provide any actual evidence, he resorts to rather pathetic attempts using Bible quotations. This would not be so worrying except that it is directed at gullible primary level children. The problem is that the book offers NO EVIDENCE FOR INTELLIGENT DESIGN. It only attacks (and poorly and that) evidence for evolution, assuming that intelligent design [ID] is the default position. Of course it is not. [ID] is a feeble last-defence by the diehards who have already found themselves painted into an untenable corner.
That's the reason why you won't find this type of book outside of the reactionary Bible belt of the USA.
Lawrence O Richards is an "evolution denier". He is a bogeyman propagandist of the Christian fundamentalist indoctrinators, a small minority who are trying desperately to counter-attack against prevailing scientific acknowledgement of Evolution Theory. These people are (I think) dishonestly trying to propagandize and defend what is now, in 2014, scientifically indefensible. This is Custer's Last Stand.
In thousands of southern USA schools and colleges the teachers try to teach maths and physics by saying that it all stemmed from "God" which is nonsensical (and a lie, in fact). None of this type of weird slant would ever be permitted or acceptable in European education, although it probably was prevalent before the 1860's.
The arguments for I.D. (intelligent design) are feeble, and bring no reasoned evidence to bear, other than peculiar and unconvincing quotes from the Bible. I think few rational people today could take such a book seriously....but this does not seem to prevent the diehards like Richards.
Page 14: He says "There is evidence (of God)".. Where? Certainly not here in this book. Yes: accidental evolution can and does happen. As they say in the movies, we just need to "deal with it!".

Amazing book full of clear facts totally convincing

Excellent - for your child

Reviewed in the United States on 31 December 2020

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent "apologetics" book for children. Nature speaks of the glory of God. When you look at "design" in creation, you have to know that there was a very intelligent being behind this universe. From the woodpecker who has unusual feet that keep him from falling when as he does his "pecking". to the little organism that does not survive outside of the body - so how could a this more simple organism come before humans... Children begin to realize that there is a God who created and who loves us.

Kindle Edition needs Accuracy with Printed Edition

Reviewed in the United States on 4 September 2017

Verified Purchase

While the content is excellent this book does NOT match up to the printed edition. There are added words, the paragraphs have been disassembled and resorted making it difficult to follow along if one is on a kindle device and one is reading a printed book.
